'I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ bosses are concerned that more contestants will quit following two early exits already.
Jamie Lynn Spears quit I'm A Celeb after Grace Dent had already walked
The ITV reality show has been rocked by the departures of restaurant critic Grace Dent and Jamie Lynn Spears - the younger sister of pop icon Britney Spears - and there are rumblings from the remaining campmates, including YouTuber Nella Rose, about walking out of the jungle ahead of the public votes.
Any more premature exits would lead to a "full-blown crisis" for producers.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "They are all struggling in that camp.
“Not just the ones who quit, everyone seems to be finding it tough this year and there is still a long way to go.
“If anyone else was to quit or leave on medical grounds now, we would have a full-blown crisis on our hands.
“Nella Rose has said she might go and she is not alone in feeling the pressure in there.”
Normally, evictions would begin on Friday (1.12.23) and run into next week until the final, but the camp may stay busier for a little longer as a result of Grace and Jamie Lynn waving goodbye to their co-stars ahead of time.
One of those early departures, Jamie Lynn, did not explain why she decided to call it quits on the ITV show - which is presented by Ant and Dec - but was nonetheless thankful to have met the “best humans” in the jungle.
In an Instagram post, she wrote: “I can’t wait to share with y’all everything about this once-in-a-lifetime experience but I don’t even know where to start when trying to describe what an incredibly special time and place I had with some of the absolute best humans I’ve ever met and consider family now.”
A spokesperson for the 32-year-old actress-and-singer cited medical grounds as the reason for her departure.
The statement read: "Jamie Lynn Spears has left on medical grounds. She has been a fantastic campmate who has triumphed at trials and bonded well with her fellow celebrities.”
